Popular author Stieg Larsson shocked millions this morning by revealing that his upcoming release will be an erotic novel.

The Swedish novelist became an international superstar on the back of the raging success of his psychological thriller trilogy, which included the hit novels The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. But the writer has chosen to branch out from the niche that scored him a high budget Hollywood film adaptation.

Sources say the new novel, The Boy with the Horse Cock, will follow a sexually prodigious stable boy with a colossal penis as he navigates man’s greatest puzzle: the search for the ultimate lay.

With the novel not even released yet, talk of a potential Hollywood adaptation has the film world buzzing, with reports that Dolph Lundgren is at the top of hopeful director Zach Snyder’s casting list.

While early reviews have called the novel ‘crude’ and ‘absurd’, The Obiter remains optimistic for the new release: you can’t go wrong with psychosexual turmoil.

No more to come.
